Sensitivity Estimates
You are here
The values below are based on measurements at the telescope. These values are similar to what is estimated by the T-ReCS Integration Time Calculator. The overall accuracy of the ITC S/N values is of the order of a factor of 1.2 to 1.4, since conditions at the telescope may vary during an observation, and since for faint targets the assumed square-root of time scaling will not hold exactly. For faint targets we advise people to be conservative in their exposure times to ensure that the desired S/N is obtained. Sensitivity estimates are available for
All sensitivities are 5 sigma in one hour of observation assuming an on-source efficiency of 50%, i.e. half the time on-source and half on-sky, in roughly average summer sky conditions (thus sensitivities are somewhat better when conditions are very good) and at low airmass (<1.2 airmasses).
In actual operation, including acquisition overhead, the time needed for such an observation will be a bit less than 2 hours for imaging because the on-target efficiency of T-ReCS is near 30% rather than 50% when observing in chop-nod mode. For spectroscopy the efficiency is a bit lower and the time needed for a 30 minute on-target exposure time is about 2.5 hours .
Imaging Sensitivity
The last column in the table below gives the N-band magnitude (or Q-band magnitude, in the case of the Qa filter) that the ITC predicts will give S/N of 5 in 30 minutes on-source, for a hot star spectrum--specifically the alpha Car template. A hot star will have nearly the same magnitude in all of the filters.
The only significant discrepancy between the ITC calculation and the observed values is in the N filter, where the observed sensitivity is somewhat worse than predicted. This type of discrepancy is also observed for the analogous filter on the VISIR instrument at the VLT, and we do not know the cause of this difference. There is also some disagreement for the Qa filter, but the Q-band observations are especially sensitive to the water vapour content of the atmosphere so it is more difficult to compare the ITC values to the observed values for Q-band filters than it is for the filters in N-band.
|Filter Name
|Point Source Sensitivity
S/N=5, 30 min. on source
|Optimum Aperture Diameter (pixels)
|Magnitude Equivalent
|ITC N magnitude (S/N=5, 30 minutes)
The observed values (PS sensitivity and Magnitude Equivalent) in the table are a result of analysis (by Tom Hayward) of T-ReCS images of standard stars obtained in late 2003/early 2004. The images used were chosen to have good PSF shape and minimal detector noise problems. The values are approximate mean values for two to six observations, depending on how many observations were available for each filter when the analysis was carried out.
What was done to produce these estimates was to first find the noise level in the image choosing a clean region of the T-ReCS detector away from hot pixels and other known artifacts of the detector. Given this noise level then a series of apertures were defined with diameter 1, 3, 5, and so on pixels. The total counts from the target was set equal to the counts in the aperture, corrected for the general background level in a larger aperture surrounding the source. The signal-to-noise (S/N) value was calculated for each aperture and the one that gave the highest S/N value was chosen to estimate the detection limit. The optimum diameter tends to increase with wavelength because the stellar point spread function becomes wider.
One might initially think that the total signal would just continue to increase with aperture size and this the S/N value would increase to an asymptotic value. This does not happen because there a general background noise per pixel, on the average, whose contribution thus increases proportional to the aperture size, and thus for apertures significantly larger than the stellar point spread function the S/N goes down somewhat since the stellar contribution levels off. Thus there is a optimum aperture size for the detection of point sources.
Once a maximum S/N value was estimated, this value was used with the known flux density of the standard at the filter wavelength to find the expected flux density value where S/N would be 1 in the particular exposure time. Then the total on-source time was used to scale to S/N of 1 in 1 second, or S/N of 5 in 25 seconds. This was then divided by 8.5 to get the value for S/N of 5 in 1800 seconds. This assumes strict scaling of the noise by the square-root of the exposure time. As noted above, 30 minutes on-source corresponds to a little under 2 hours actual observation time due to acquisition and the chop-nod efficiency of the instrument.
The values are given in mJy. These are converted to magnitudes using the Cohen spectral energy distribution and adopted magnitudes for alpha CMa. The magnitudes are also given in the table. Stars without circumstellar dust shells will have essentially the same magnitude in all filters.
For stars the most sensitive filter is the Si-2 filter since it is located in a clean part of the N-band window and stars have a higher mean flux density in the Si-2 filter than on the average over the N filter. For intrinsically cooler objects the Si-5 filter may produce slightly better results than the Si-2 filter or N-band filter, again because of being in a clean part of the N-band window. These trade-offs are dependent on the shape of the object spectrum, as values are given in terms of flux density rather than in-band flux. The colour correction effects are minor for the Si and narrow-band filters, but may be significant for the N and Q broad filters. The Qa filter sensitivity is critically dependent on atmospheric conditions, rather than any assumptions about the shape of the object spectrum.
Under the best conditions the point source sensitivities can be somewhat better (by a few tenths of a magnitude) than the values in the table above.
The Q-band sensitivity is significantly worse that that for any of the N-band filters. The above value corresponds to the best seasonal conditions, and in local winter the Q-band conditions are typically rather worse than the above values which were measured in summer. The Qb 24.56 micron filter sensitivity is again much worse than the Qa filter sensitivity values given above. As a very rough rule of thumb, a source needs to be at least 10 times brighter in Qa than in N for approximately the same signal-to-noise value in a Qa observation as in an N filter observation, for a given on-source time, and two or three times brighter still in Q-band for good signal-to-noise Qb observations to be possible.
Comparison with the Michelle sensitivity values shows differences in sensitivity. (The on-source time is the same for both tables so the values can be directly compared.) For the Si2 and Si5 filters, where the atmospheric effects are the smallest, the sensitivities of the two instruments are about the same. The differences in values are thought to be due to having slightly different methods of calculating the S/N from the images. In those filters where atmospheric effects are stronger, such as the Si1 and Si6 filters at the edges of the N-band window, the Michelle sensitivities are a bit better than those for T-ReCS. The Q-band sensitivity of Michelle is clearly much better than that of T-ReCS. We believe that all of these differences are due to the difference in the site characteristics, due to Mauna Kea being higher and dryer than Cerro Pachon. The intrinsic sensitivities of the two instruments under the same atmospheric conditions are thought to be the same.
The continuum emission sensitivity can be approximately estimated in two ways. On a per pixel basis the sensitivity is found from the point source sensitivity divided by the square-root of the number of pixels in the aperture, which is 0.89 times the aperture diameter given above. Thus for example the N-band sensitivity per pixel is 0.31 mJy per pixel or 39 mJy/square arc-second. One can actually do better if the images are binned, since one cannot resolve continuum structure on a scale much smaller than the stellar FWHM. Three by three binning would improve the detection limit for continuum emission by a factor of about 3 to near 13 mJy/square arc-second.
Spectroscopic Sensitivity
Some estimates of the T-ReCS spectroscopic sensitivity have been obtained from analysis of standard star observations. There will be some variation in the actual sensitivity for any given observation depending upon the slit width to be used, the seeing at the time of the observation, the centering of the target in the slit, and the stability of atmospheric conditions during an observation. In particular for faint targets the stability of the atmosphere over a long observation is an issue. The standard stars are bright, so they are observed for only 2 or 3 minutes and for these sources the background subtraction is less of an issue. Thus it is possible that the results shown below will overestimate the sensitivity for targets near the limit. For faint sources near the detection limit the theoretical square-root of time variation in signal-to-noise ratio may not apply, and these calculations will then be somewhat in error.
All values given are estimates of the 5 sigma detection limit in Jy for 30 minutes on-target time.
The N-band sensitivity is about 15 mJy at 8.8 microns and about 25 mJy at 11.7 microns. In terms of magnitudes these are 8.8 and 7.6 respectively. A reasonable rule of thumb is that the sensitivity for T-ReCS low-resolution spectroscopy is close to 10 times worse than the imaging sensitivity at the same wavelength. The Q-band sensitivity is roughly 10 times worse than that at N-band for either imaging or spectroscopy.
As noted below these values are for the 0.35 arc-second slit, giving better wavelength resolution. If the widest slit is used the sensitivity will be about a factor of 2 better at the cost of poorer wavelength resolution.
We do not have much basis for estimating the sensitivity of the highres10 grating as yet. The sensitivity of T-ReCS in this mode appears to be strongly limited by the detector dark current and read noise, in which case we can estimate that it will be of order 3 to 5 times worse than for the low resolution N-band spectroscopy mode.
The ITC gives values similar to the values shown here for the low resolution spectral modes of T-ReCS.
The following plot shows the derived detection limit over the N-band. This is specifically for the 0.35 arc-second slit, values of order 2 times better would be obtained for a relatively compact target when using the 1.3 or 0.7 arc-second slits. Note the reduced sensitivity in the ozone band region. The actual situation in the band is actually worse than suggested by the plot because there may be systematic residuals from the ratioing with a standard star to remove the telluric features.
The analogous plot for Q-band is given below. The uncertainties here are larger because the Q-band conditions are much more variable than those for N-band. We may be able to do better than this under exceptionally dry conditions. Again this estimate is for a narrower slit and better sensitivity would be obtained with the wide slits. As the quality of the Q-band window is not good, there are tremendous variations in sensitivity over the 17 to 26 micron wavelength range.

St. Marys United Methodist Church Historic Chapel
St. Marys, GA 31558
This congregation is the oldest congregation in St. Marys. It was established in 1799 when George Clark was sent as a missionary to the banks of the St. Marys River. The original chapel was built in 1812 and was later moved and a new chapel was constructed between 1856 and 1858. The chapel was spared burning during the Civil War because it was used as a butcher shop by the Ninth Maine Regiment. This congregation was also the home of Florida Methodism. Missionaries were sent out from this church down into Spanish Florida.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Matt Carpenter had four hits and scored the winning run on Matt Holliday's single in the 12th inning, helping the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-5 on Thursday for their second extra-inning triumph over the NL Central leaders in three days.
The Cardinals took two of three in the series to pull within two games of the sagging Pirates, who have dropped five of six. St. Louis won 4-3 in 14 innings in the series opener on Tuesday night.
Rookie Kevin Siegrist (1-1), St. Louis' seventh pitcher, struck out two in a perfect 12th against the heart of the order.
Russell Martin and Clint Barmes homered for Pittsburgh, which blew a 4-0 lead in one inning. Jose Tabata had three straight hits after entering as a pinch hitter.
Carpenter sparked the winning rally with a one-out walk. He went to third on Jon Jay's single before Holliday grounded a single up the middle off Bryan Morris (5-6).
Carpenter, the Cardinals' leadoff man, leads the National League with 48 multihit games and 40 doubles. He entered with league-leading averages of .366 at home and .367 in day games.
Holliday also had an RBI double and has a 12-game hitting streak.
Martin hit a tying leadoff drive off Trevor Rosenthal in the eighth, handing the setup man his second blown save of St. Louis' 4-6 homestand.
The Pirates hit for the cycle against Lance Lynn in a four-run fifth that featured rookie Andrew Lambo's first hit and RBI on a double and Barmes' two-run homer. The Cardinals responded by knocking out A.J. Burnett with five runs in the bottom half on a two-run single by Daniel Descalso and RBIs in consecutive at-bats from Carpenter, Jon Jay and Holliday.
Both managers put a heavy stamp on the game. The Pirates' Clint Hurdle hit for two regulars in the sixth and emptied his bench, and the Cardinals' Mike Matheny used three relievers in the sixth and seventh.
St. Louis activated All-Star catcher Yadier Molina from the 15-day disabled list, and he announced his presence almost immediately. He threw out Starling Marte trying to steal third to end the first.
NOTES: The Pirates begin a three-game homestand Friday against the Diamondbacks. Pittsburgh rookie Gerrit Cole (5-5, 3.95 ERA), who opposes Brandon McCarthy (2-6, 4.73 ERA) in the opener, has lost five of his last six decisions. ... The Cardinals open a three-game series at Chicago, with St. Louis' Jake Westbrook (7-7, 4.11 ERA) opposing minor league callup Jake Arrieta. It will be Westbrook's first appearance since giving up nine runs in 4 2-3 innings of relief on three days' rest after Shelby Miller was knocked out by a liner off his elbow on his second pitch of the game. ... Cardinals reliever Seth Maness, who grounded into a double play and struck out to strand five runners Tuesday night, got his first career hit in the sixth. ... Pirates reliever Tony Watson worked three scoreless innings and retired the heart of the order in the 10th.

It is hard to believe Kris, Rob, and I set ourselves up for certain failure by creating the BONILLA system two full years ago. Not only is that the amount of time it felt like we invested in writing it but two years is the collective amount of time it took off the end of our lives. Unfortunately for Kris, he's now running a deficit in that department. RIP CATSHIRT.
Early in 2009, the internet was lousy with freely accessible projections systems, providing hope to some (like Bill James Juiced Up Gonzo Projections) and reality (the other, more depressing systems) to the rest. Having a difficult enough time with linear thought let alone linear weights, we three dummies opted to throw our hat in the ring with the "Based On Nothing Important, Let's Look at Age."
The result is a series of occasionally funny lines of borderline nonsense which actually turned out pretty well. We refrained from reaching for the cheapest and most obvious joke at least 30% of the time, not bad for jokes written in bulk. We tackled the players based on the year in which they were born.
Kris kicked it off with 1985 babies and Rob followed with old dogs from 1973. Kris took 1980 and I did 1979. Just like that night in Nha Trang.
The behemoth that was players born in 1977 went to Mr. Iracane while Kris had the honor of examining those born in 1978, the birth year of kings. Rob's work on players born in 1976 opened a window into his own mortality while Kris and I ganged up the 1983 births, not unlike a much darker night in Da Nang.
Finally, Rob broke the spirit of the youth while Kris wrapped it the whole fruitless exercise by paying homage to the 40-plus oldies.
All in all, a pretty fun way to kill time during the long wait for spring training that is January . Take a stroll through the BONILLA archives and hit us back with your favorites. Or don't waste significant chunks of your workday a second time. Your choice.

LIVING LARGE: All those lads who read Maxim now have the chance to live its pages — well, provided they bring the beer and babes and have a passport. Come October, Maxim's parent, on-the-selling-block Dennis Publishing, plans to debut Maxim Bungalows, a five-star resort in the Dominican Republic, in a venture with Elliott, a hospitality and real estate company. Barry Pincus, manager of brand development at Dennis, said that despite the uncertainty as to who will be the next owner of Maxim, Stuff and Blender, marketing for the bungalows is just business as usual. "This is structured as a licensing agreement but it is really functioning as a partnership," he said. "We worked together on all the creative aspects and obviously, we bring a lot of marketing power to the table." He declined to provide financial details.
In an interesting rationale for business expansion, Pincus added Maxim is bullish on its "bricks and mortar" projects because of its success in throwing events. "We thought what would it be like to do this on a full-time basis?" On that note, Pincus confirmed that the Maxim hotel and casino project is still being pursued. "We are still considering all of our options." — Amy Wicks
PARTING WORDS: Howard University got Oprah Winfrey, Columbia University snagged "Lost" actor (and class of '89 graduate) Matthew Fox. And on Wednesday, The Laboratory Institute of Merchandising, the College for the Business of Fashion will welcome Time Inc. executive vice president Stephanie George. The publishing veteran jumped at the opportunity since she was a teacher at the Fashion and Art Institute of Dallas (now the Art Institute of Dallas) for eight years before beginning her career in magazines. She eventually became president of WWD and later In Style, where she also has had oversight over The Parenting Group, Essence and Real Simple. "It's such a joy for me as an ex-schoolteacher to speak to the graduates on what will be one of the most important days of their lives," she said. "My comments will be geared along the lines of, 'If you have a fork on the road take the one that follows your heart.'" George also plans to borrow a quote from Thomas Edison: "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." "If you haven't failed at something, it means you haven't taken enough chances," she said. — Stephanie D. Smith

This article covers performing search queries on Google using their API. This means you can transparently run a Google search in the background, and then present the results to your users however you want to.
The Google API is a SOAP web service. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is an XML schema used for calling a remote procedures (usually) over the web. In this case, the remote procedure is Google search.
To achieve this, there are a few things we firstly need:
- A Google license key – This is your own key for access the Google web service. To get your key, visit the Google APIs pageand create an account.
- NuSOAP – This is a SOAP toolkit for PHP. Using this saves us all the hassle of dealing directly with SOAP web services.Download from SourceForge.
In this article, we are going to create a single PHP script called
google.php, to simply demonstrate how to query Google. Hopefully using this information, you will be able to come up with more advanced ways of using the API.
The Google API does offer querying of their cache, as well as spelling requests, however, this article covers only performing searches. If you're interested in these other types of queries, you're best of reading the API reference guide.

Will help bring prototype inventions for disabled from laboratory to marketplace
The University at Buffalo Center for Assistive Technology has received a $ 4.7 million competitive award from the U.S. Department of Education's National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitative Research.
The 2013-18 award was announced as CAT celebrates its 25th anniversary and brings the total amount of extramural support generated by the center to about $100 million since its founding in 1988.
The new grant will fund a new five-year cycle of CAT's Center on Knowledge Translation for Technology Transfer (KT4TT), initially funded by the NIDRR in 2008.
The NIDRR sponsors the research and the development of projects in the field of rehabilitation and assistive technology for persons with disabilities.
The CAT, an interdisciplinary research center in the UB School of Public Health and Health Professions, has as its mission the improvement, dissemination, transfer and commercialization of products developed by NIDRR grant recipients and, internally, the demonstration of best practices in the field.
Lynn Kozlowski, Ph.D., dean of the School of Public Health and Health Professions, said, "The school and UB are very proud of the sustained accomplishments of CAT over the past quarter century.
"In the case of the work funded by this grant," he said, "the difficulty of moving valuable new products into the marketplace has long been recognized. CAT's team has taken up this challenge and is working to address and resolve obstacles to the production and marketing of important new inventions that will assist disabled persons."
Joseph Lane, director of CAT, said, "NIDRR sponsors research and development intended to generate socio-economic benefits, but, like so many domestic and international programs, the projects fail to bridge the gap from laboratory to marketplace.
"University scientists and engineers who design and test state-of-the-art products for the disabled often are understandably focused more on their research than on the eventual commercialization process."
"That, however, does not prevent them from applying the due diligence necessary to align their work with the interests and requirements of corporations who have the required capacity and expertise to bring the products of their research to market," he said.
Lane said that as recipients of public funding, the sponsors and grantees share an obligation to apply methods and metrics that will ensure the investment generates the intended beneficial results for individuals with disabilities. He said their activity must be both rigorous and relevant because the goals of specific projects are practical, not theoretical.
"Overall, the goal is to improve the performance of government programs that are challenged to deliver the promises inherent in public policies related to science, technology and innovation public policies," he said.
"We pursue this by the study and demonstration of the technology transfer and the commercialization process within our focused field of assistive technology, and then generalizing the results."
Lane pointed out the center's project team has 20 years of experience in the evaluation and commercialization of such innovations and, collaboratively, has introduced nearly 60 new devices to the marketplace. The latest - the Morph Wheel by Maddak Inc. - is a convenient, easy-to-store wheel chair with foldable wheels that has won many industry tradeshow awards.
The NIDRR's funding specifically requires the Center on KT4TT to contribute to three outcomes for NIDRR's technology-based grantees:
•Increase NIDRR grantee rates of successful transfer and commercialization into the marketplace, into engineering design standards or other intended applications.
•Increase NIDRR grantee understanding of technology transfer processes and practices that are successfully used to generate products and services in the marketplace.
•Increase the capacity of NIDRR grantees to plan and to engage in technology transfer and commercialization activities.

aes1610 driver supports devices based on the AuthenTec AES1610 chipset.
aes1610 is part of libfprint and is developed by Anthony Bretaudeau.
Supported devices
This device can most commonly be found embedded in HP tablets and Asus or Lenovo laptops. Even when embedded in this way, these devices just sit on the regular USB bus.
Driver history
Anthony Bretaudeau wrote this driver based on bus traffic analysis and comparison with other Authentec drivers.
Device operation
This is a swipe-type device which is similar to the AES2501. Each frame is 128x8 pixels in size.
Security notes
The fingerprint is always sent unencrypted over the USB bus.
Imaging performance
Image processing works well -- fingerprint image quality is good, the enhanced/binarized version is also good, and minutiae detection is accurate. However, this being a small sensor, a relatively small area of the finger is detected, and hence not that many minutiae. This results in low match scores, the threshold of which has been dropped to 15.
Obtaining a good enrollment scan helps the matching performance a lot. It's usable but not brilliant -- false rejections are currently a little more common than we would like.

No stress, he's ready
APPRENTICE chef Joseph O'Grady isn't stressed about having to represent the Northern Rivers in the World Skills Australia cooking competition in Sydney.
On August 28, he will go up against Australia's best apprentice chefs under the age of 21 for the chance to represent Australia in Germany later this year.
"It's a big deal but I can only do what I can do," the Ballina local said.
"I'm just excited to see how it is and to meet lots of other chefs."
He is 2 1/2 years into his apprenticeship at Fleurs Restaurant in Ballina and said exceptional training given to him will be a big advantage at the competition.
"I've been taught very well by two very good chefs and if I stuff up, I know how to fix it, so I'm not stressing out," he said.
During the first two days of the competition, chefs will be given specific ingredients, including a spatchcock and green tea that they must include in their dishes.
On the third and final day of the competition, competitors will be given a "mystery box". They will have to make a dish from unknown ingredients enclosed within it.
Being barely 18 and able to attend pubs and clubs for the first time hasn't distracted Mr O'Grady from concentrating on cooking.
"I'm not much of a drinker - I don't go out and party like a lot of my friends - I work at nights," he said.
"I love being around food and I love cooking.
"I always want to be good at whatever I'm doing and I've always wanted to be a chef."
The winner of the World Skills Australia cooking competition will be judged on taste, presentation, cleanliness, hygiene, knife skills and many other components.

The CEO of Sears Holding Corp. received a compensation package worth nearly 90 percent less in 2012 than the prior year.
Louis D'Ambrosio's became CEO of Sears in February 2011 and stepped down last month due to heath issues involving his family.
In a proxy statement filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the retailer said D-Ambrosio's salary rose to $1 million last year from $930,769 in 2011. The value of his perks, like corporate housing and travel from his primary residence in Philadelphia to Chicago, shrank to $278,741 from $852,037 in 2011.
Sears gave D'Ambrosio a signing bonus of $150,000 and $8 million in stock awards in 2011 after he joined the company. But he received no bonus or stock awards in 2012.
The Associated Press reports the value of stock at the time they are granted. Of the $8 million in restricted stock awards given in 2011, $6 million would vest over a period of three years and $2 million was a restricted stock matching to vest over two years. The company said $3 million of it vested in 2012 and $3 million vested in 2013. Because D'Ambrosio left earlier this year, he forfeited $2 million that would have vested in 2014.
Edward Lampert, the company's chairman and largest shareholder, took over as head of the struggling retailer in February at the start of its 2013 fiscal year.
Sears disclosed earlier this month that it signed a contract with Lampert to keep him on as CEO of the company at a salary of $1 per year, but with the opportunity for a bonus of up to $2 million in cash or stock and up to $4.5 million in stock per year.
Sears, which operates the Sears and Kmart chains, is trying to turn itself around after years of weak sales and failing to attract new shoppers. Some investors were concerned about Lampert's appointment, as they wondered whether Lampert would continue the investment that D'Ambrosio made to improve the shopping experience at Sears and Kmart.
The company announced plans last year to restore profitability by aggressively cutting costs, reducing inventory, selling off some assets and spinning off others.
Sears reported a loss of $930 million, or $8.78 per share, for its 2012 fiscal year. The company's adjusted loss from continuing operations was $2.03 per share. Its annual revenue fell 4 percent to $39.85 billion from $41.57 billion.
The Associated Press formula calculates an executive's total compensation during the last fiscal year by adding salary, bonuses, perks, above-market interest that the company pays on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock and stock options awarded during the year. The AP formula does not count changes in the present value of pension benefits. That makes the AP total slightly different in most cases from the total reported by companies to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The value that a company assigned to an executive's stock and option awards for 2012 was the present value of what the company expected the awards to be worth to the executive over time. Companies use one of several formulas to calculate that value. However, the number is just an estimate, and what an executive ultimately receives will depend on the performance of the company's stock in the years after the awards are granted. Most stock compensation programs require an executive to wait a specified amount of time to receive shares or exercise options.

The 2 Faces of Pocahantos - Comparing Informational Text and Literature
Lesson 10 of 13
Objective: SWBAT use text features and the structure of text to summarize key details, comparing the ideas between informational text and literature.
- 2nd grade informational texts about a historical figure/event - several copies or you could use an Elmo and read as a group I used Pocahontas The Life of an Indian Princess by Colleen Adams and Captain John Smith-Discover the Life of an Explorer by Trish Kline. I also found A Story of Pocahantos by Caryn Jenner to be a good book
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: summarize, key details, text features, version, informational text, literature, characters
- Text Feature Headers for Literature & Informational text feature headers headers A visual of the text features in each book
- Literature story of your historical figure/event You could use Disney Pocahontas for both characters or the video clips from the Disney movies - clip 1 and clip 2 and clip 3**
- Summarizing Informational Text worksheet
- Here is the whiteboard setup
- Just an FYI - Here is a nice website that compares both figures
- 2 Faces of Pocahontas powerpoint (see resources below)
- 9 x 13 paper for project and crayons
I chose these books because they are topical for my units of study and this topic is of interest to the students. They know the characters and can use their background knowledge to add to their summary of the literature version (RL.2.2). The shift in Common Core Standards focus asks them to do 'close reading' to compare and contrast their story ideas with historical fact. (RI.2.9) as they read and summarize the 'true' stories (RI.2.2)
** I tweaked this lesson the second time I taught it because my students were not all familiar with this movie. It was more powerful to show the clips and have students familiar with the story share what happened.

Let's Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words)
This lesson is an assessment for my students. I taught these informational summarizing strategies in 3 other lessons - Frame the Story with Informational Text, A Feast of Summaries, and these literature summarizing lessons in Summarize and Make a Movie, Summarize and Make a Scene.
Get the kids engaged
- Show Two faces powerpoint of John Smith and Pocahontas
- "Who are these characters?" Here is a video of our discussion
Bring students to a common learning point
- "We've been talking about American exploration. There is truth to how these 2 characters were part of history. Here are 2 books about these characters-one is informational text and the other is literature.
- "John Smith was an explorer to America who helped to found Jamestown and make friends with the Native Americans."
- "Pocahontas was an Indian Princess who befriended the explorers and brought peace to the Indians."
- "Why are there 2 versions of this story?" Take ideas – discuss the author's purpose of the two different books- this is what my students had to say in our discussion.

Teachers' Turn
Set a purpose for the lesson
- Here's a video of the explanation of the lesson
Demonstrate the strategies
- "I'm going to compare the story of John Smith in these books to demonstrate how to summarize his story."
- Show the Disney version and read the parts about John Smith quickly - go through the text features and summarize using the text features. My kids knew this story and we did not need to read the whole story. Here's the whiteboard for this literary text.
- Read the pages of The Story of Pocahontas about John Smith. Pp. 7-16 and p 30 – fill out the organizer looking for repeated words, first/last sentences and checking to see if the illustrations verify your summary. This is how I explained using repeated words and first/last sentences to summarize. I filled out the informational text organizer on the whiteboard for informational text.
- Let's check the illustrations. Can we verify the text with illustrations?
- Here's the completed whiteboard with all the information.
Follow up discussion
- "The stories are very different. Why do you think the Disney author wrote the story like that? Why did the informational text author write her story like she did?"
Students who can recount and summarize literature by identifying the main idea (RL.2.2) and identify the main topic and central ideas of informational text (RI.2.2) are utilizing a strategy called 'close reading' which is a focus in the Common Core Skills. This requires students to examine how the text features and details in the text support and lead to a theme or main idea. By comparing and contrasting versions of this story, students are analyzing the summaries and main ideas to see the author's purpose. (RI.2.9) Ultimately, their comprehension will improve as they analyze what they're reading as well as how the author wrote the text and the text structure.
Demonstrate the project
- "Now that I have 2 summaries, we can create the 'Two faces of John Smith'.
- I brought some construction paper and I'll fold it in half. I want to create 2 faces that show how he looks in both versions of the story. Here's a discussion about characters in the teacher project.
- Demonstrate this project – glue the summaries on the back. This is a picture of the teacher project.

Students Take A Turn
Summarize literature text
- "Now it's your turn to summarize 2 stories about Pocahontas."
- Read the Disney version to the group, focusing on the pages about Pocahontas. I read it because I only had one copy and reading level is too high. Most of the kids knew the story, but needed a review.
- Pass out the summarizing literature worksheet – kids fill out.
Summarize informational text
- I passed out the summarizing Informational text worksheet and told students to listen to repeated words.
- I reminded them to look at the illustrations as I read. I only had one copy and the reading level is still a little high.
- I re-read the first/last sentence and let students fill out the summary page.
- They used the book and were looking for repeated words after I was done reading.
- Here's a video of my student writing a summary with info text
Check their work as you walk around
- Remind them to write clear sentences.
- Check their language as they write.
- Take a look at my student's worksheets and student's worksheets 2
Resources (7)
Apply What You've Learned!
Students complete project
- Pass out the construction paper
- Students draw faces and glue on summary pages
- Review the ideas - why are the pictures different - what was the author of the books 'point of view'?
- Take a look at student project 1 and student project 2.
Follow up discussion
- "Now that we have 2 summaries, its easy to compare them. Who wants to share their summaries."
- "Which version did you like better? Why?"
- "When would you use the informational text? When would you use the literature version?"
Scaffolding & Special Education - This lesson could be scaffolded up or down, depending on student ability.
I chose to read the texts to my students because of limited books and because I have special education students. Although the goal is reading, I'm also focused on reading strategies. It would help your students who are struggling to read with you (if the class has separate books) or to work with a reading buddy. The worksheets also require a lot of writing, so again, I would suggest that they work with a buddy or the teacher uses a desk slate to write prompts for the worksheet. Here are the student prompts on a slate that I used.
For students with greater academic ability, it would be more challenging to ask them for greater description ('wanted to find riches' vs 'wanted gold' or 'she died at an early age' vs 'she died'.) They could use some of the vocabulary from the book as well, such as explorer, captured, or colony.

James Hood didn't set out to make history, other than the personal kind.
James Hood didn't set out to make history, other than the personal kind.
He just wanted to study psychology and prove wrong the writer of a piece of racist drivel he'd seen in an Atlanta newspaper.
That article questioned the intellectual abilities of African-Americans; to say the early 1960s was a less-enlightened time is an understatement.
Hood, a native of Gadsden, a 1961 graduate of Carver High School, sought to attend the University of Alabama. His quest produced one of the defining moments not just in the civil rights movement, but in this country's history, and is why Hood's death Thursday at age 70 put him back in worldwide headlines after a half-century.
The events of June 11, 1963, in Tuscaloosa, preserved in old black-and-white photographs and film, remain vivid.
Hood and Vivian Malone arrived at Foster Auditorium to register as the school's second and third African-American students (the first, Autherine Lucy, was driven out of school seven years earlier), with a federal court's sanction and the weight of the federal government behind them.
George Wallace, five months into his first term as Alabama's governor, stood in the door to block them, fulfilling a campaign promise. The confrontation ended when President John F. Kennedy federalized the National Guard, Wallace obeyed a general's order to move and Hood and Malone registered and paid their fees.
It was all a show, as Hood recalled in a 2011 interview with The Times. Wallace just wanted to make a point and there was no chance of the students being kept out of the university.
But it was a compelling show.
The university was integrated, for good, as the nation and world watched, signaling the inevitable demise of legally mandated segregation.
Wallace became a hero to those who would not accept that reality, and a national political figure.
Later, paralyzed and in a wheelchair after being shot while campaigning for the presidency, Wallace sought to atone for his actions during that era.
He personally apologized to Hood — whose path had circled back to his home state — and later to Malone (then Vivian Malone Jones; she died in 2005).
Hood only stayed at UA for a few months, leaving not because of any pressure, but because his father was terminally ill.
He moved to Michigan, earned an undergraduate degree at Wayne State University and worked for the city of Detroit. After earning a master's degree at Michigan State, he spent nearly three decades working for a community college in Wisconsin. Those who knew him saw him as more than a civil rights hero — as a kind, gentle man with a reputation as a consensus builder.
And 34 years after the scene at Foster Auditorium, Hood earned a UA degree, a Ph.D in interdisciplinary studies.
Hood in the 2011 interview said he wanted to be remembered as someone who tried to make the world better — who did what was right.
He did that in June 1963 and throughout his life. He deserves to be remembered for a full life, well lived.

HTC has announced the red HTC One for Sprint will go on sale starting tomorrow, August 16th. Sprint will be the only US carrier to offer the HTC one in red. The red device will add a touch of color to the silver and black HTC Ones already in Sprint's handset lineup. The red HTC One will sell for $199.99 with a new two year contract, but Sprint will be sweetening the deal with a buy one get one free promotion which will run through August 30. Buy an HTC One in any color from Sprint and get a second HTC one completely free (as long as you sign a two-year contract for that second phone).
We know Sprint doesn't have the best network, but if you can't seem to pry yourself away from them, you might as well have a red HTC One. If you were on the market for an HTC One, which color would you choose?Show Press Release
Rock Out With New NextRadio App on Red Hot HTC One
Exclusively from Sprint Beginning Aug. 16
NextRadio seamlessly brings live FM radio with interactive content
to Sprint smartphones
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Aug. 15, 2013 — Do you love rocking out to your favorite local radio station on your smartphone but hate the toll it takes on your battery when you stream? Music lovers rejoice! Sprint signed an industry first and will offer access to the new NextRadio® interactive FM radio application beginning with HTC One® and HTC EVO® 4G LTE. This deal will allow Sprint to provide the NextRadio service on a broad range of Sprint smartphone devices during the next several years.
With NextRadio, listening to FM radio on smartphones offers a new type of interactive radio listening experience. When compared with streaming, NextRadio consumes about three times less battery life than other music apps. That's because the audio is coming through a built-in FM tuner instead of over the Internet.
NextRadio is a free app that comes preloaded on HTC One from Sprint for all new activations. Customers who already own HTC One or HTC EVO 4G LTE from Sprint can download NextRadio through Google Playâ"¢ at no additional charge.
Don't have HTC One just yet? No worries! Beginning Friday, Aug. 16, HTC One is launching in a hot, new red color, exclusively for Sprint customers. HTC One in red will be available in all Sprint Stores, Sprint Business Sales, Telesales (1-800-SPRINT1) and Web Sales for $199.99 with a new two-year service agreement or eligible upgrade (excludes taxes and surcharges). The device is currently available in silver and black.
And to turn up the heat even more, from Aug. 16 through Aug. 30, Sprint will offer a special promotion to make it even easier for customers to get their hands on the HTC One with interactive FM radio from NextRadio. For a limited time and while supplies last, customers can purchase an HTC One and get a second one for free, in any of the three color options — silver, black or red1.
"Our customers already enjoy listening to a variety of music apps on their smartphones, but NextRadio makes it easier than ever to interact with the local radio stations they enjoy listening to in the car virtually anywhere," said Fared Adib, senior vice president-Product Development, Sprint. "Marking another innovation milestone for Sprint, our partners at NextRadio are transforming the FM radio listening experience by allowing users to interact with their favorite radio shows by calling or messaging directly from their smartphone."
NextRadio allows users to:
- Browse stations in their local area by genre or frequency, set favorites, view recently played stations or use a traditional tuner interface
- Call or text the radio shows they love, providing the ability to send instant feedback to the station whenever and virtually wherever they are listening
- Watch music and talk come to life with album art, station logos, song and show details, and instant actions like sharing or purchasing songs right from their phone
A headset or speaker wire plugged into the 3.5mm stereo audio jack is required and serves as the antenna for the FM radio chip. Customers can easily find a radio station from the NextRadio onscreen guide, which is divided by music genre or selecting the station dial position. The app also includes radio station logos, slogans and programming description.
"We're excited that an innovative wireless carrier like Sprint is leading the effort to offer American consumers something they've always loved — listening to the radio — right in the palm of their hands," said Gordon Smith, president of the National Association of Broadcasters. "This service expands on that experience by enabling consumers to interact with local broadcasters directly through the application."
For more information about the NextRadio application, visit www.nextradioapp.com.

AN ODD THING happens when people see Lisa Swerling's artwork; they often start crying.
Swerling doesn't mind. In fact, she takes it as a huge compliment.
There's something about Swerling's shadow box wall sculptures featuring tiny figures doing the mundane activities of everyday life that affect people viscerally.
"There's definitely a vulnerability to the figures, probably because of the scale. They kind of remind us of our own smallness in a big world," she says. "And that we're special as well."
In "A Woman's Work," an apron-clad woman calmly sweeps up an impossibly huge pile of pink glitter. In "The Marriage Vow" a couple jumps off a towering diving board into the unknown. In "Wallflower," a woman patiently sits alone amid a row of empty chairs. In "An Utter Disregard for Consequences," a little girl draws with abandon on the walls with a black marker. In "How Much is That Doggy?" a little boy stares wistfully through a huge glass window at a puppy on the other side.
"I feel genuine compassion for the human condition. And I'm not cynical. I'm essentially an optimist and I think that's kind of refreshing in conceptual art," she says.
Swerling, who moved with her husband, Ralph Lazar, and their two daughters to San Anselmo two years ago, is among the artists participating in the 34th annual Celebration of Craftswomen at Fort Mason in San Francisco on Nov. 24 and 25 and Dec. 1 and 2.
Swerling took an art program for a year after graduating from the University of Oxford where she studied politics, philosophy and economics, but her boxes, which she calls Glass Cathedrals, don't have much to do with her training. They do have a lot to do with thoughts that she says have been circling inside her head since she was a child — "Do I have to tidy my room?" "I'm going to die one day." "I don't want to jump in the pool!" — and her love of glitter.
But they also explore much bigger questions most of us ask ourselves: What is the meaning of life? What are we here for? Is this all there is?
"In the boxes, there aren't answers. They all have an ambiguity to them. Maybe people feel relieved when they experience the art. It's not an answer, but it is a solace," Swerling, 40, observes. "I love ambiguity; that's where all the juiciness is of life."
Her most popular box — judging by sales and tears — is "The World is a Scary Place But I Have Waterwings," which features a small girl wearing inflatable waterwings in front of a expanse of sparkly blue-green water.
"She's so brave and also so vulnerable. I think that's why people cry," she says. "People might be remembering specific times when they were afraid and alone, and yet they have this source of comfort and security, and I think that's often your friends and family as well as this innate resilience we have as humans."
Not all of her artworks bring tears, however — there's just as many laughs to boxes with the same kind of quirky humor she and Lazar display in their numerous award-winning cartoons, including Vimrod and Harold's Planet. The South African natives own Last Lemon Productions, a graphic art licensing company, and have more than 30 books published in 20 languages.
Although men and women typically respond equally to her pieces — "It's a universal experience, feeling tiny," she explains — women often react deeply to the miniature cleaning woman on her hands and knees wiping an endless black-and-white checkered floor in "Cleanliness is Next to Godliness."
"Women react in a visceral way when they see that piece. That domestic fate is a big thing. I'm not being critical of it, though, and I'm not being sneering. You can see that woman and see her vulnerability, but you can also think it's really quite heroic to be doing that," Swerling says.
Swerling started Glass Cathedrals as a hobby, but it's become much more than that.
"When I started making them, I discovered I had an amazing medium to channel my ideas through. The format itself is such an inspiration. When you put something in a box, it becomes special and valued," she says. "Playing with scale meant I had such resonance with anything I put in the box. So my challenge was to be as minimalist as I could. There's a temptation to just stuff the box."
Since Glass Cathedrals took off, she's been spending more time creating and marketing the artboxes, which range between $450 and $1,000. She's represented by several galleries in London and hopes to do the same here.
The Los Angeles Times said Swerling's boxes "stole the show" at last year's Unique L.A. exhibit.
"Part of the joy of showing the work is the conversation that I have with people because they (the boxes) obviously have an emotional aspect to them," she says. "They kind of look me in the eye and say, 'Thank you.' It speaks volumes."

Previously played Squidco store copy, used for cataloging and samples, in excellent condition.
"Nearly. Nearly a song, somewhat familiar. Nearly comfortable, almost fulfilling. The melody stays ever-open, indefinite, and then the song departs, breaks, never arrives. It's not surrender, it's a game, open to the listener. The avant-garde replaced musical statements with this new desire to offer something to the ear: the sustained notes of the "Sarabanda" never lodging in the periphery of memory, the dissolving of pitch into percussion, the repetition of musical cells, the loops, the ever different superimposed patterns, the changing textures and the suspension of climax... but for how long? Almost a Song is still a duo. And not only between guitar and piano. This in spite of the electroacoustic ramifications and of the instruments being - without losing the acoustic strength of their gestures- sometimes nearly swallowed by their own sound.
Joana Sá and Luís José Martins formed a duo in 2000 dedicated to the interpretation of contemporary music. They have developed numerous projects together amongst which the collective POWERTRIO with harpist Eduardo Raón. Luís José Martins is a member of the group Deolinda and Joana Sá has developed mostly solo work, namely Through this Looking Glass.
Artistic pathways converging at this game of pleasure and freedom which is Almost a Song."-Guilherme Proença

You're 21 years old. You've won one of the biggest rodeos in the world — in the most glamorous event of them all. You've earned a ridiculous payday.
This is only the beginning for a baby-faced bull-rider.
Isn't it?
"When you win, you think they're just going to hand them to you every year," said Scott Schiffner. "All of a sudden you turn 30 and realize that wasn't quite the case."
Between winning once (as an up-and-comer at the 2001 Calgary Stampede) and winning it again (as a grizzled veteran, to tremendous fanfare, Sunday) had be en 13 years.
Kind of amazing.
Then again, Schiffner's titles in the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association weren't exactly back to back — 2001 and 2012.
All of which stumps the 34-year-old resident of Strathmore.
"You know, I honestly don't know what I do," said Schiffner. "People ask me about that. I'm not a Chad Besplug — I'm not that talented. I don't go to the gym as much as him. I wish I could, but I don't. I've come to the conclusion . . . deep down, my whole life, I've wanted it. I've really wanted it. I'm not going to say I wanted it any worse than anybody else, but I've always just found a way. And luck's on my side.
"I read a famous quote from Arnold Palmer: 'I'd rather be lucky than good . . . but the funny thing is, the more I practise, the luckier I get.' I believe that, right?
"And truth be told — I bounce pretty good."
Nevertheless, a long career represents countless (headfirst) trips to the turf. That first Stampede triumph — feel like ages ago?
"Some days when I walk past the bronze I won in '01, it seems like just yesterday," said Schiffner. "Then on other days, when I'm picking myself out of the dirt, it seems like a long time ago.
"I owe everything I have in the world to rodeo. To just top it off with days like this in Calgary, it makes me happy — the lifestyle I chose."
Sunday's win means $100,000.
In 2001, he'd crammed $50,000 into his dungarees.
"I love inflation," cracked Schiffner. "There's not much I can say that everybody else hasn't already said about how great this rodeo is. They treat us like gold here. Life's pretty good on a day like this."
Schiffner — with 89.5 aboard Mr. Buddy — prevailed. Ty Pozzobon, an injury replacement from Merritt, B.C., who ended up winning nearly $40,000 this week, picked up 88.0 on I'm A Gangsta. Getting chucked had been Joao Ricardo Vieira and Lane Lambert.
But, having gone first, Schiffner had to wait for things to sort themselves out.
"More nerve-racking than nodding your head . . . because everything is out of your control," said Schiffner. "You have no influence on that at all. That's the most nerve-racking thing, standing there. We're all good friends in the bull-riding and I just wanted everyone to ride their bull. But I'll be honest — I just wanted everyone to ride their bull (Sunday) and me be a higher score."
An outcome that surely would have pleased his daughters, Maysa, six, and Hadley, four. (His other daughter, Oaklyn, is nine months old.) In the morning, the girls had been preoccupied — wanting to have just the right outfits for Dad's triumph.
"I guess they were more confident in me than I was."
Pressure? Big smile.
"That, for darn sure, is."
But the man came through. Now he's got that big cheque to spend.
"More cows, more land, but my wife (Brandy) might put her foot down on that," said Schiffner. "This is my living. So it's a little different than when I was 21. I have big plans now. I've got a family to feed and keep growing. I can imagine what college tuition is going to be in another 15 years. Things to think of."
Something else, of course, to ponder — how much longer?
"The million-dollar question," said Schiffner. "Hopefully with wins like this, it puts some of the (questions) to bed . . . but they just keep firing up — 'When am I going to retire?' I don't know. I really don't know. One day I might come home from a little rodeo out east and go, 'I don't want to go again.' Or I might be here three years from now.
"I don't know. Right now, I'm just enjoying life."

Five weeks after former Davis High basketball standout Jesse Wade announced he was leaving Gonzaga, he announced his plans for where to play next.
Wade tweeted Wednesday he will transfer to BYU and join the Cougars.
From Kaysville to France to Spokane, I'm extremely grateful for the places that my life has taken me and the people that I have met. With that being said, I'm excited to say that i have decided to come home and further my basketball career and education at BYU! #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/TGvOgRRWJJ— Jesse L. Wade (@jessewade10) July 11, 2018
The 6-foot-1 guard averaged 26.8 points per game as a Davis senior in 2014-15 before committing to Gonzaga and serving a two-year mission to France for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
He appeared in 20 college games this past season, scoring nine points in a game against Howard. He totaled 26 points and logged a season-high 19 minutes in a game against Incarnate Word.
Per NCAA rules, he will likely redshirt and sit out the upcoming 2018-19 season before suiting up with the Cougars. After sitting out, he would have three years to play three seasons.
Wade's sister, Olivia — one of the best soccer players in the state and the Standard-Examiner's 2016 All-Area MVP — begins her soccer career at BYU this fall.
"He is an incredible teammate who is an exceptionally hard worker and a tremendous role model," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said in a news release June 1. "We have truly appreciated everything he has given us on and off of the court, and enjoyed having Jesse in our program. We wish him nothing but the best moving forward."
> Davis siblings Jesse and Olivia Wade bonded by friendship, talents
> Unshakable Jesse Wade fits like Cinderella's slipper at Gonzaga
